Scavenging for that Culture CredBy Starling Root QuailBellMagazine.com 
You must be a culture vulture if...
• you take pride in paying full price for opera and ballet tickets. • you read events listings with a discerning eye and your nose in the air. • you wouldn't touch a light beer with the longest martini stirrer known to mankind. • you have more museum membership cards than debit, credit, and gym cards combined. • you watch “films,” not “movies,” and not the kind you can watch in mainstream theaters, either. • your local librarian knows you on a first name basis—whether you owe late fees or not. • you go to art galleries, read artist statements from top to bottom, and even buy art. (But, yeah, you drink the free wine like the rest us, too.) • you watch several plays a season, and not just for the gay dating scene. • you pronounce foreign words damn close to the real thing and know, really and truly, where the accent marks go. • you know people call you a pretentious prick and actually think it's a compliment. What's the difference between a culture vulture and a hipster? Nothing, except a culture vulture is twenty years older and not trying to play poor. CommentsComments are closed.
